1 April 2018 - 31 October 2018 ?
Welcome to Alice Springs
This afternoon you'll meet your Travel Director who will share their take on what life is like in such an isolated Australian town. Take our town tour of Alice Springs. We'll visit the historic Overland Telegraph Station and School of the Air, a crucial service providing education to children living in remote Australian communities.
This afternoon travel to Simpson Gap, where you'll be joined by a Local Guide. They'll show you some bush tucker and also provide an insight into how the locals have lived on the land for thousands of years.
Tonight, an exceptional Be My Guest experience in a natural bush setting awaits you. Enjoy a drink, explore your surroundings and watch the sun set while your host, Bob, cooks a delicious three-course meal in a bush oven. He'll share some tips on his cooking style and his knowledge of Aboriginal bush food while you dine under the Milky Way.
Hotel: Crowne Plaza Alice Springs Lasseters, 2 nights
Included Meals: Be My Guest dinner
West MacDonnell Ranges
The West MacDonnell Ranges is the ideal place to experience the geology, land forms and variety of native flora and fauna. You'll take a walk at dramatic Angkerle (Standley Chasm). Created over millions of years, the deep red sandstone formation contrasts with the carpet of lush, green ferns and gum trees on the valley floor. Later, there'll be time to cool off with a swim at Ellery Creek Big Hole. This afternoon you'll also visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service to see how this facility provides medical assistance to those living in remote outback Australia.
Hotel: Crowne Plaza Alice Springs Lasseters
Included Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner with wine
Alice Springs – Kings Canyon
Travelling off-road along Ernest Giles Road, you'll visit the Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve, formed when a meteor hit the earth's surface 4,700 years ago. The meteorite pieces, which reached speeds of 40,000 km per hour, created twelve craters that are still visible today. Though most of the craters have eroded and become lined with plant life, their footprints create an interesting diversion from the surrounding flat Australian desert landscape. Perfect for observing the changing colours of the landscape, this afternoon enjoy a relaxed walk along the creek bed of Kings Canyon.
This evening you're treated to the unique dining experience, Under a Desert Moon, set in the wilderness under a canopy of the Southern Night sky (weather permitting). The only light comes from the moon and the flickering glow of the fire and the only sound is soft music intertwined with the whispering of the breeze through the Desert Oak trees and the crackling flames. Enjoy sparkling wine and canapés followed by a four-course dinner, prepared from fresh produce and ingredients unique to the Australian Outback.
Hotel: Kings Canyon Resort
Included Meals: Breakfast, lunch and highlight dinner
Kings Canyon – Uluru (Ayers Rock)
This morning you're off on a 6km Rim Walk exploration of the spectacular Kings Canyon. As you venture around the rim, highlights include the domed 'Lost City', a stop at Cotterill's Lookout and the luscious 'Garden of Eden'. Your next stop is Curtin Springs, which has been home to the Severin family since 1956 when Peter Severin arrived with his young wife Dawn, their toddler son Ashley and 1,500 head of cattle! Sit down to a BBQ lunch and meet one of the locals as you hear about the family and the logistics of running a million-acre cattle property.
This afternoon we enter Uluṟu – Kata Tjuta National Park and make our way to the domes of Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Here you'll join your Travel Director for a guided walk through Walpa Gorge. The large, steep dome-like formations of Kata Tjuta are amazing to walk through and have great cultural significance for the Anangu people. As the sun sets, you'll see spectacular changing colours over Uluru from the prime sunset viewing area. This evening share a few laughs with your fellow travellers over a delicious meal at Ilkari Restaurant.
Hotel: Sails in the Desert Hotel, Ayers Rock Resort
Included Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner with wine

Take a walk around the base of Uluru and hear timeless stories, see rock art, and visit Mutitjulu Waterhole, once an important water source for the Aboriginal people and animals in the area.

The Spanish low-fare airline Vueling this year, for the first time, continued to fly on two lines to Dubrovnik and during the winter flying schedule. Two lines from Dubrovnik to Barcelona and Rome (Fiumicino - Leonardo da Vinci airport) have two flights per week. Aircraft fullness on these winter lines was 64 percent, while two flights in January this year were completely sold out. This is the data for the period from October 29th last year to February 3rd this year. There were 47 flights arriving and 47 flights departing during that period, all with Airbus A320 aircraft.
Although in the summer schedule that begins on March 25thVueling has not announced any new line for Croatia, yet the planned lines will be boosted – Avioradar reports.
The two lines from Dubrovnik remain at the same number of operations in the heart of the season, which is the same as last year. For Barcelona 12 flights per week are announced, but certain flights in the heart of the season start with traffic earlier than last year when they started flying in August, while this year they are starting in July. There are 7 flights per week on the Rome line, which is the same as last year, but in the pre-season and the post-seasons 4 flights per week are planned, or one flight per week more than at the same period last year.
Split on the line from Barcelona has announced 2 flights a week more in the heart of the season, so the last year's daily flights will receive double rotation on Tuesdays and Sundays. On the line from Split to Rome, 13 flights a week were announced in the heart of the season or one flight per week more than last year. Same as in the case of Dubrovnik, the flights begin with operations earlier, as early as July. The third line, Split - Florence, remains the same as last year with one flight per week every Friday from June to September.
The remaining lines of the Vueling from Zadar for Barcelona and Rome, and from Zagreb for Barcelona have the same number of flights as last year.

What the provider dispatch sees is daily faxes of the services required two days hence and the occasional phone call to handle anomalies.
{Our call center software is specially designed to organize requested services. Our policies merge with this to give providers maximum notice for optimal scheduling of services. All of this occurs transparently to the provider and the provider simply gets a daily fax of requested services two days in advance. In the cases when the 48 hour notice cannot be complied with or if a member cancels the request, our CSRs directly contact the providers dispatch office and arrange for the special service conditions. We also notify our providers at the beginning of each month of members that require the same services at predetermined intervals (blanket requests) during the month so that they can prepare for that well in advance.}

Gold-level placement in the 2017 Reader's Choice Awards, Contractor/Home Improvement - Waterloo Region
Renovating older homes.
Older homes have their own unique character and beauty. However, adding additions or upgrading wiring and plumbing can be a challenge. Once you open a wall, you're not always sure of what you're going to find. Issues such as structural integrity, energy efficiency, outdated utilities, asbestos and other hazard materials are just some of the problems you may discover.
These hidden elements and extra costs such as expenses generated when you, part way through the construction process, change your original design or add more expensive fixtures and finishes will generally increase the originally quoted price by 10 - 15%.
It's an exciting time changing and improving your home. A significant addition or renovation may be a one time project having never to experience it again. This involves attentive planning and careful implimentation. We at Russo Home Renovations can comfortably guide you through the process.

RICHMOND, Va. -- Yesterday's Alabama-Louisiana Tech semifinal in the NCAA Women's Final Four looked as much like an episode of "M*A*S*H" as a basketball game, with injured bodies thrown about the Richmond Coliseum floor.
Louisiana Tech, which had more banged-up bodies than Alabama, managed to come out ahead on the scoreboard, 69-66, to earn a spot in this afternoon's championship game.
Afterward, Louisiana Tech coach Leon Barmore shook his head and wondered how he would gather his troops for today's game with North Carolina.

It's here. The time has come. LeBron James and his "Posse" take on Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and the improved Golden State Warriors. From the Halloween Party poking fun at the Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead to Draymond Green having something to say about everything Cavaliers related all season long, the time has come to put up or get embarrassed by the biggest villain; The Internet.
Golden State hasn't lost a game with all four of its All-Stars in uniform since Feb. 28 … which was the night Kevin Durant got hurt in DC.
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 1, 2017
But who has the most to lose?
This is LeBron's 7th consecutive trip to the finals and the Jordan comparison has grown beyond control. On the flipside, Kevin Durant is in his first season with the already loaded Warriors and winning a ring is the only end game for him and his legacy.
LeBron's Stats
Statistically speaking, LeBron has shattered the 2017 NBA playoffs. Every fan of basketball was weary of the way the Cavaliers were playing towards the end of the season and wondered if they could indeed "flip the switch" this year. The switch was indeed flipped, but mainly by LeBron James only.
Luckily, the Cav's road to the finals was spent mostly in the HOV lane en route to the Golden State. However, now that we've arrived, LeBron is going to need a lot more help, primarily on the defensive end, if there is going to be a chance at a repeat.
In this post season, LeBron is putting up 32.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, all under 41 minutes. But since a NBA game is 48 minutes long, contributions from the likes of Irving, Love, and Korver will be needed tremendously.
LeBron made it clear he was chasing the "Ghost/GOAT that played in Chicago." The way he has been laying waste to teams this postseason, it's clear that there is no one currently in this league that can stop LeBron.
LeBron James' Los Angeles home was vandalized with a racist slur spray-painted on the front gate, police say https://t.co/O8Wl5jYNDA pic.twitter.com/hLneImLNBH
— CNN (@CNN) June 1, 2017
There are a handful of teams in the NBA where the entire season is a bust if they don't win a championship. For LeBron James, winning a championship or playing for one has pretty much been expected since he entered the league.
If he can pull this off, the LeBron and Jordan talks start to get a bit more serious and although no one is particularly prepared or even wants a Jordan replacement, you can't ignore the talent and level LeBron James has elevated his game to.
The Warriors Add Kevin Durant
It's a completely different mindset for the Golden State Warriors. I can only imagine the chip on their shoulder after blowing a 3-1 lead AND allowing the Cavaliers to celebrate on your home court.
The two teams split wins in the regular season and have been working tirelessly to get to this point. But for the Warriors, recapturing what they feel is rightfully theirs is the mindset for these NBA finals.
Did I mention they have Kevin Durant now as well?
RT if the Golden State Warriors will become the 2017 NBA Champions. pic.twitter.com/B7jUScOSy9
— NBA (@hofmatchup) June 1, 2017
Before Durant lost a friend in Russell Westbrook and left OKC, you could've said last year the Warriors was the best team in the NBA. But thanks to Durant, the Golden State Warriors is arguably the best team put together in the history of the NBA. The "Big four" of Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Green make it a nightmare defensively for any team.
They don't rely on simply just one player to put points on the board when the going gets tough. Instead, they have a multitude of players (even on the bench) talented enough to get the job done. On defense, they are versatile enough to switch and guard almost every position.
(See Also: Cavs Warriors Ultimate Rivalry)
If they can slow LeBron down (because there is no stopping a freight train) at the least, Cleveland will be on the losing end of this battle.
LBJ vs KD
There is a lot at stake here for Kevin Durant. In his second finals appearance, he is meeting none other than LeBron James again. In their first meeting, James took the Miami Heat to what was his first ring against KD and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Here, they meet again and this time both are on different teams but KD is in the same place, no ring.
The pressure on KD winning this year is immense mainly because of the way he got here. Leaving a team that was pretty much built around you, for a team that eliminated you just the year prior can say a something about your loyalty.
But when the owner who drafted you in Seattle doesn't want to pay for a new arena, the front office of your new team doesn't want to pay your teammate who was sixth man of the year, and your coach gets fired, what is loyalty?
Kevin Durant did what was best for him and his career and that's what matters. He joins that handful of teams where it's championship or bust.
Not winning this year may not only break the internet, but change the way we view Kevin Durant as an elite basketball player.
James and Durant both have an equal amount of "motivation" for these finals which will make for a hell of a story in ten years when my son asks "Who is the greatest basketball player besides you?"

To review, we are talking about the fourth of nine kinds of path: display paths. And we'd like to know how to stimulate interest in sculpture or specimens along a display path, where to put them for greatest impact.
Here's a suggestion:
We appreciate plants and sculpture along paths best when our surroundings please us. Pleasure peaks when the scene shifts. The new surroundings promise a surge of new information, a joy to us humans. So one of the best places for a new statue or botanical specimen comes just after a change in scenery.
In developed settings, scenery shifts typically at and just after street intersections. Partly as a result, signs are typically placed just before intersections to inform walkers how to proceed and shortly after intersections to assure them they've made the right choice.
Similarly, interpretive signs are usually placed just beyond a habitat shift to explain the new surroundings and, by happy happenstance, just when the walker is most receptive to absorb it. This further suggests that such signs should be placed either at both ends of each habitat, or the path should be made uni-directional.This is true of all nine kinds of paths–we're most receptive to new sights and sounds when the scenery shifts, and studies show we remember best what happens just after an intersection or open space.In fact it's one way we remember paths: "Then there was a rhinoceros just past the intersection, and then there was a zebra on the far end of the plaza…"
In every case, the primary caution is that too many sudden changes leads to information overload, so discontinuities and displays should be spaced out along the route. That's reason that over the past few centuries botanical gardens have gone from crammed systemic beds to spaced out display gardens along a leisurely stroll route.
The peak of pleasure and the onset of overload varies. Where the frequent visitor is enjoying the few things along the path that are new, the first-time visitor has already wearied of the overload of a path where everything is new.
Signage helps minimize overload, easily ramping the newcomer up to understanding. Signage can also be made optional, as with a cell phone dial-up system, used only by those who need it.
The opposite premise is that too few changes in surroundings lead to boredom. So along a bland route, breaks should be added to increase interest without being so numerous as to become jumbled.
For display path designers, striking the right balance between too much old hat and too much novelty, and placing the interesting bits in the right places are the keys to pleased "customers."

English is by far the world's most studied second language. It is no wonder that the ESL industry has grown significantly throughout the globe. Learning English, teaching English and the corporations, colleges, and universities that all profit from ESL are the direct consequence of a vastly globalized Twenty-First-century world. However, the great contradiction in the ESL industry is that English is often taught incorrectly.
We all know that virtually anyone from an English speaking country can teach English in a foreign country or domestically. One usually only needs a bachelor's degree in any discipline and a TESOL, TEFL or CELTA certificate. In some cases, only a four-year degree or even less will suffice.
So a person has a TESOL certificate and few years of experience. They must be qualified to teach, right? Not necessarily! In fact, I would estimate that at least 50 percent of people who teach English are rather bad at it. How can this be?
Also read: Avoid these 6 mistakes to become an effective ESL teacher
Teaching English or any language for that matter is all about the approach. Even individuals who have a few years of teaching experience under their belts fail to be effective instructors. It is not that these people are not capable of teaching English, but simply that they proceed with the wrong approach.
How should English be taught?
Let's pretend that hypothetical teacher A is instructing a 60-minute class. What should be the outcome after one hour? First and foremost, during that 60 minutes, STUDENTS SHOULD BE TALKING FOR AT LEAST 60 PERCENT OF THE TIME while practicing the targeted language from that class coalesced with what they have already learned! Ideally, student talk time should be 70 to 75 percent while using the targeted language and recently comprehended vocabulary. Ok, no problem. Just get them to talk right! Actually, the majority of ESL teachers fail to reach even 40 percent student talk time. Why?
First, too many teachers simply do not know how to be quiet and let the students talk. Remember, class time is for the students. Learn to be passive and become a good listener. Every opportunity during the class for the students to speak must be provided. Don't read the directions of an activity. Get the student to do it. Don't immediately explain the meaning of a new vocabulary word. Have a more advanced student explain it to the class. Don't begin the class by asking the students what they did last night. Get them to ask you what you did last night. Make up a story, tell a joke, get them to laugh. Create an environment where they want to talk and ask questions. Always be open-minded when teaching.
Second, too many ESL teachers forget that they are teaching English to a group of adults rather than social studies to a bunch of 12 year- olds. If I had a dollar for each time I've walked by a classroom only to hear an ESL teacher soaking up talk time while the students sat in complete agony. Remember, teaching English is not like teaching a group of middle school children. It is not your job to lecture and discipline, but rather to listen and coach. If you have control issues or just don't know how to have fun, then you probably should not be teaching English. Maybe the state department is hiring. You may have a master's degree in history or political science, but that does not equate into being a good ESL teacher.
Third, too many ESL teachers fail to be creative and try new things in the classroom. If you want to reach a student talk time of 60 to 75 percent, then it is paramount that your classes are innovative, dynamic and interactive. If you have a large class, get them to stand up and move around. Persuade them to work with different partners, groups and make sure the class is completely integrated. In addition, do not be afraid to use creative measures to practice the targeted language and maximize student talk time. Utilizing photos, artwork, music, creative writing activities, role play and acting are all unconventional ways to not only encourage your students to talk more but have a great time doing so. Always remember to inject some humor into your classes as well. Push the envelope a little bit, but be careful not to offend. Of course, it is necessary to have structure and use a textbook, but DON'T JUST RELY ON A TEXTBOOK!
What about the way English is taught at the big schools like Kaplan, Intrax, Education First, Nova, and Berlitz?
These schools are generally effective at achieving sufficient student talk time. The problem is the way they do it. These types of large, corporate institutes teach what can be referred to as 'cookie cutter English' in reference to the 'cookie cutter' houses of the American suburbs.
Like suburban life, these schools provide safe ESL instruction in that the student can expect to receive a certain quality of instruction and the opportunity to practice the targeted language during class time. However, the teachers in these schools are limited in their ability to be creative and try new things. Large and expensive institutes, such as Kaplan and Education First focus on drilling and repetition. Both of which are important, but English is also a uniquely creative, but at the same time inconsistent and capricious language. It is littered with idioms, phrasal verbs, slang, accents, word stresses and tons of grammar exceptions. Therefore, the pedagogical approach to teaching English as a second language needs to be creative, open and flexible. Furthermore, this argument applies to some extent to the teaching of all languages.
English schools, such as Kaplan, Education First, NOVA, and Berlitz are more keen on the bottom line. Consequently, the teachers at these schools are handcuffed and lessons are strictly centered on the textbook. Not surprisingly, these larger schools all follow a similar corporate template that is more or less led by Kaplan. While a typical lesson in Kaplan may reach a student talk time of 50 or 60 percent, the students are paying an excessive amount of money for often mediocre and textbook driven lessons. English Schools such as Kaplan, Intrax and Education First, which generally charge a tuition fee of $1100 to $2000 per month, are more focused on investing their profits into highly strategic marketing campaigns. As a result, students do not get the highest level of classroom instruction and overpay.
Being creative, open and interactive while reaching a student talk time of 60 to 75 percent that practices a targeted language during class is the best approach for teaching English as a second language. Structure and textbooks are essential, but flexibility ultimately leads to the best results.

Can you melt the Ice Fairy? (open)
Subject: Can you melt the Ice Fairy? (open)
Sun Mar 16, 2014 5:26 pm
Standing in front of the mirror she smiled as she altered her appearance and then changed it back to normal. She wanted to make a grand entrance and this was just the time to do it. Ali had not had a chance to really meet anyone and it was even more depressing than being at her old school. This was not what she had wanted but her parents had given her no choice in the matter. They said go and she went.
The only plus was the costume ball and on short notice her mother had at least made it up to her with the
she had sent. The dress was white on top, with an intricate pattern on the bodice with a shorter cap sleeve, and the skirt was a silverish gray, with multiple layers to the fabric. Around the waist as an accent piece was a silver chair belt. Examining herself she turned slightly to look at the silver wings adorning her back.
She looked amazing, but something was missing. "Ah I know what will make it perfect." Closing her eyes she reopened them to reveal a piercing ice blue and her hair was a beautiful shade of brown, the curls falling softly over her shoulders. Slipping on a pair of silver heels she spun around checking her outfit one last time. "The Ice Fairy has arrived."
Chuckling to herself she stepped towards the door her dress swishing about her legs as she walked. Her housemates had already left which did not bother her in the least bit. They had not exactly been warm since her arrival but they were no worse than any other teenage girl she had ever met. They were selfish creatures naturally and she was no different. Ali was selfish, cunning and ruthless when it came to taking things she wanted. Power was a wonderful thing and while she may be at the bottom now starting over she would not remain there for long.
While she was lost in her thoughts she arrived at the Great Hall a bit more quickly than expected and stepping past a group of younger students in the hall she walked in examining the decorations. They were passable but she was sure it was the best they could do. Folding her hands in front of her waist she glanced around and then stepped in to do a lap. Hopefully, something or someone would catch her eye and give her something to entertain herself with.

Ah, Halloween, the wonderful night of sexy teens doing sexy things while the adults hid because they were afraid of eggs or toilet paper or something equally stupid being thrown at them. Such a wonderful night.
Still, ordinarily she would spend it in the dungeons somewhere, playing a game that started out sexy and ended up sex. The problem with that was that the castle's lead game master had somehow duped the powers running the school into thinking he would be an ideal candidate for Head Boy. So all of the most fun people would be at the school sanctioned party that he was throwing, at least to begin the night, and Rose figured she might as well make an appearance. She could always find some trouble to get into after.
Still, she wanted to pull off being sexy without bothering to put any effort into it, because she was feeling lazy. In the end, she ended up in a warm, thick plush robe, like one that would be worn by a medieval queen. It was green with silver trim, and she wore it tied loosely enough to show that there was nothing at all underneath it. The only other things she had on were a fancy silver crown and sparkly silver high heels. Without putting in any real effort, she felt she achieved a look that screamed "unwrap me and take me home" and for the right person, she wouldn't even care which order those two things happened in. As long as she still had the crown when she got back to her own space the next morning, the rest of the outfit was disposable.
Walking into the ball like she owned the place, she did a quick turn of the floor, pausing only to sneer in distaste at the refreshments table. The punch would surely be spiked by now, and all of that food was garbage that was barely fit for human consumption. She would need to talk to the useless Head Girl. She knew that girl had to watch what she ate, so the redhead wondered how it was that there was no real food with actual nutritional value to be seen.
This line of thought ended when he eyes fell on a dark and exotic beauty that she had never seen before, dressed as some kind of fairy. She sauntered slowly over, taking her time, but letting the girl know with her eyes that she was Rose's destination. Surely she wouldn't be dumb enough to wander off somewhere and make herself harder to find for the redhead.
Rose smirked invitingly when she caught up to her. "My, it is quite the year for sexy exchange students, isn't it?" she purred. "I had no idea what Hogwarts had decided it needed to work at importing sexiness."

Pausing she looked around, her ice blue eyes flashing as she took in the teenagers surrounding her. On the surface they did not look so different from the ones at her previous school, but there was something darker here that she could not quite put her finger on. She only hoped that she figured out what it was sooner rather than later. Wrinkling her nose in disgust at a pair of students on the edge of the dance floor she shook her head and continued on.
She would do her seven months or so in this prison and then she would be free, or as free as she could be with controlling parents, to do as she pleased. Moving forward once more she headed towards the refreshments table hoping to find something to quench her thirst. She stopped short however when she felt eyes upon her and lifting her gaze she caught the eyes of the redhead upon her and she could not help but smile. Just as she was about to move on the girl started in her direction allowing her to see her costume in full view. Well now, someone was certainly feeling daring, she thought to herself. Surpringly enough though it seemed to suit her and match the aura that she put off.
Crossing her hands across her stomach she continued to smile as the girl paused near her side. "Well from what I have seen it is certainly needed. This school seems to be producing nothing but bookish types from what I have seen so far. You though seem entirely refreshing,"she responded biting her bottom lip slightly as she did. It was finally beginning to look promising at this school. Maybe the next few months wouldn't be so bad after all.

Now a sixth year at Hogwarts, Lavender Brown had a
of friends. She prided herself on that particular accomplishment. And how had she made so many friends? The answer was simple, of course. She was young and blonde and beautiful! People saw her walking down the hall and couldn't
but want to be her friend, because she was perfect - well, as close to perfect as one could get. And certainly much more perfect than anyone else. And that was exactly how Lavender liked it - walking about the halls surrounded by a group of girls who were less beautiful than her, so that her perfection was clearly emphasized. It was easy to do, because
was less beautiful than her.
Today was a particularly exciting day, because today Lavender could show off her beauty even more than usual! Because that night, the Halloween Ball would be taking place. Until that moment, Lavender was still unsure of what she was going to dress as. She didn't have a costume, but she was a genius when it came to her wardrobe, so she knew that she could come up with something. Digging into her closet and searching thoroughly through her things, she quickly settled on dressing as a pirate - sexy, but not
sexy. Pulling on a simple pair of figure hugging Khaki colored pants, she dug into her trunk for the top to complete her outfit. With a grin, she emerged with a decorative brown corset. She fastened it quickly on, pulled on a pair of boots, and took a few minutes to braid her hair into a swashbuckling braid.
After applying a generous amount of makeup to her face, she eagerly made her way to stand in front of her mirror so that she could assess her
. Her face lit into a bright smile at the sight. The khaki pants clung to the curves of her hips and butt, and the corset ended a bit above the waistband, showing off her flat midriff. While the bottom half of her outfit was rather conservative, her breasts nearly spilled out of the top, where the corset clung tightly to her chest as it was supposed to. Lavender wasn't into wearing just lingerie as a Halloween costume. She enjoyed her share of fun times with the guys, but she preferred to give them a bit to discover rather than exposing it all at once.
Finally satisfied with how she looked, Lavender slipped on a ruby necklace and gold bracelet and made her way quickly from the common room. It didn't take her long to reach the ball, and her face was bright and excited as she pushed the doors open. She took a deep breath and stepped inside, her eyes instantly scanning the room for her friends. They didn't seem to be around, which meant she must be the first one of them to arrive! Well, better to keep busy. Lavender wasn't one to stand by herself. Her eyes fell on two Slytherin girls standing nearby - one was dressed as a fairy, and the other as a... queen about to take a shower? Perhaps? Whatever, it didn't matter. She was only talking to them as a substitute until her friends arrived.
She joined the conversation just in time to hear one of the girls ask if sexiness was being imported, and to hear the other answer.
"Maybe in Slytherin,"
she chimed, looking back and forth between the girls. They were both quite beautiful, but still not as beautiful as Lavender. She recognized the redhead, but hadn't spoken to her before. The other seemed completely new - Lavender had never seen her before this year.
"Gryffindor on the other hand, has plenty of sexiness to go around!"
In the form of Lavender Brown, of course.
"Your name's Rose, right?"
she asked the redhead, a bit haughtily. Because she was better than them.
"I'm Lavender,"
she added to the dark-haired girl, who would likely not have a clue what her name was. Poor thing.
"And I'm most
not a bookish type, thanks."

Rose actually snorted a little when the Russian girl said that Hogwarts needed help being sexier and less bookish. Then again, hadn't she been noticing the same problem this year? So few people deserving of her attention and so few toys who actually knew how to play. The only night she had truly enjoyed had been the one with the other import, and the rumor was she was settling down already. "Maybe we can do something
when you get tired of the dance, then," she said, licking her own lips when she thought of taking the other snake back to bed.
Her flirting was rudely interrupted as a lion decided to step out of its place and speak to them. Rose scoffed openly at the idea that the red house might be sexier than her own, as well as the strange idea the girl seemed to be harboring that she was better than the redhead. She also ignored the blonde's weird little introduction entirely. She had no clue why the lion knew her name and no reason to care what the younger girl called herself.
"Look, little girl," she sneered, "it's super neat and all that you broke into your mommy's makeup case and tried to make yourself a sexy dinosaur hunter or whatever, but the real women don't really care. Go find some little boy that doesn't know how to work his cock yet and leave us alone." With that she waved her hand dismissively and turned her attention back to the fiery hot ice fairy.

"Yes well I was bored the moment I walked in the door but it is nice to know you are willing to help me out."
As Ali stood next to Rose she could not help but admire the girl. After all not many could pull off the look she had attempted so flawlessly. That and she had this air about her just daring people to cross her. Ali was starting to feel just a bit more comfortable. All until a blonde wandered over to them and Ali could not help but wrinkle her nose. This was the type of girl back home that Ali could spend all day torturing.
Looking her up and down she shook her head. She had seen better, and done better. But apparently this girl thought she was the best thing to walk the earth. Rolling her eyes she muttered "сука," and offered a fake smile. Crossing her arms over her chest she continued to watch the girl, obviously not impressed.
"Lavender, was it. You do not look as if you have ever cracked a book in your life. Nor do you look as if you even know where the library might be located. Now if you will excuse us."
Ali's smile grew even larger as Rose put the blonde in her place. Extending her arm to Rose she turned on her heel, she needed a drink if she was going to make it even half way through this dance.

An army of acromantulas from the forbidden forest storm the castle and barge into the Great Hall. Giant, hairy, eight legged spiders quickly converge onto the mass of students attending the Halloween Ball, on the attack.

Before she could do anything about having the pretty Russian girl's undivided attention again, there was a flood of spiders pouring into the Great Hall. Now, Rose wasn't bothered by dark, crawly things like a lot of girls were, but these weren't ordinary spiders. They were giant, crawling invitations to death, and Rose had no intention of accepting. Let the overly brave lions and their ilk fight and protect the little kiddies. Let them die in the process, too. She was going to make sure that she and the new Russian were still alive and pretty when they made it to their beds.
She grabbed the fairy's arm, pulling her through the converted ballroom and looking for a way out. Unfortunately, it seemed like every way was blocked by the giant spiders, and she wasn't about to try actually fighting them to get out. She was quite insistent on the not dying part of her plan, after all.
"Bloody! Damn! Spiders!" she panted out, feeling like she was scurrying like a lab rat in a maze as she continued to make no real progress towards the doors out, despite exercising far more than she ever really felt the need to.
Finally a path opened up in front of her, and she darted through it without question, not caring about anything other than getting to the doors in one piece and getting herself and the pretty fairy out of this stupid ball alive. She could worry about anything else in life, a long bath for instance, after she was far away from here.

Having the day off means some much needed relaxation and crafty time. Today I am working on some layouts and have this one finished so far.
Caleb plays the trumpet at school, which means he always sits in the back during concerts. Everyone knows I like to take pictures, and it has become a sort of joke that I can't get any good shots during concerts.
Here is a layout using some very, very old stash, goodies from SC kits, and a few of the Chic Tags sent to me from #SashaFarina.
Thanks for stopping by!

According to the statistics obtained from the Camera and Imaging Product Association, 2016 is the worst year for camera sales in over 15 years.
Surprisingly, a report from a particular research group sees a change of direction in camera sales in the future. A report from Zion Market Research estimates that the camera industry will grow by about six percent by 2021. The report from the research group includes cameras, imaging software and processing equipment and expects the overall camera industry to hit about $110.79 billion in about five years.
READ MORE: WhatsApp To Release "Message Recall" Feature Before 2017
The research group attributes a huge chunk of the six percent expected growth to markets in the Asia Pacific region. In the region, growth of income coupled with an increased interest of citizen in photography will help drive the camera market forward. Zion Market Research also reports that North America will have the second biggest impact. However, Zion thinks that both the market in North America and Europe will largely grow as consumers are replacing dated fixed lens cameras with updated interchangeable lens options.
Of particular interest in Zion's report is the biggest driving factors in the proposed growth of the camera market, the growth of social media. The increasing growth and widespread acceptance of several picture and photography platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest is attributed to the increasing demand for digital photography, Zion suggests. Alongside social media platforms, access to image editing software like Photoshop is also contributing to the growth.
READ MORE: AirPods Are A Runaway Success – Apple CEO
"Along with the fact that digital cameras are making it possible for "consumers to take professional quality photos themselves, the widening range of applications for digital cameras is also playing a role. Cameras used in business, science, security, recreation, data storage, automotive and machine vision, as well as art and professional photography will contribute to the market growth", the report says.
READ MORE: Super Mario Run To Be Released On Android Very Soon
Conclusively, while the study acknowledges the improving quality of smartphone cameras as a major competitor and hindrance to the camera market, niche markets like sports and events will help develop the camera industry's growth, the report says.
But asides Zion Market Research's report, several other reports have opined that social media has indeed helped make the photography industry a more popular niche than ever before.
Is Zion's report holding any future prospect? I guess we have to wait till 2021 to find out. But you could tell us what you think in the comment box though.

Ensuring our children are safe and well.
The Children's Advocacy Alliance is committed to the long-term goal of safely reducing the number of children in foster care and improving the outcomes for those children and families who are already in care by addressing the three strategic drivers of progress and change:
1) Preventing abuse and neglect and entry into foster care
2) Improving the programs and practices necessary to support children and families in the child welfare system
3) Promoting safe exits and ensuring successful transitions for youth and families leaving the child welfare system.
To ensure the safety and well-being of our children and their families, the Children's Advocacy Alliance is working to:
– Engage a diverse coalition of community members in identifying and developing a shared vision for child and family well-being in our community.
– Collect data and conduct research on best practices to develop a comprehensive system for preventing child abuse and neglect, and providing necessary care and services for children and families in the system.
– Revise and update laws affecting child welfare to ensure that they are consistent with federal laws, and to ensure the appropriate level of services for children and families in the system.
– Ensure that appropriate services are available to ensure the safety and well-being of youth and young adults who are involved in sex trafficking in our State.
– Review and revise the funding structure in Nevada that supports prevention services for children and families at risk of becoming involved with child welfare and for those who are currently involved with child welfare.

With Earth Day falling on April 22 this week, I had spent quite a bit of time pouring my heart and soul into a music video. But instead of waiting until the big day to release this work (by then you might be a little saturated with Earth Day talk and ads), I decided to publish it today (perhaps to minimize the likelihood of getting lost in all the noise that's sure to come later in the week).
Check it out and see what you think!
This was my attempt to package the raw beauty and emotion of seeing some of the most beautiful places on earth in a format that I hope will move viewers as much as the whole experience of waterfalling has moved Julie and I. Who knows? Maybe it might also move you to become a waterfalls fan or even to take action to help preserve Nature.
I've also put this video on the home page of our World of Waterfalls website.

There is no reason you can't be a South discourse initiator and a classical music snob at the same time. The problem is when, taking issue with one fantastical view of the Orient, you end up inadvertently paving the way to another.
"There were — and are — cultures and nations whose location is in the East," the Great Name writes in the holy tome (which he completed in New York the year I was born in Cairo), "and their lives, histories, and customs have a brute reality obviously greater than anything that could be said about them in the West. About that fact this study of Orientalism has very little to contribute".
The Arab Spring, by contrast, has had a lot to say about brute reality. While democratic transformation turned out to be a Trojan horse for political Islam, the liberal-left discourse partly inspired by Orientalism proved just as deluded and dangerous as what Edward Said set out to discredit.
As it turned out that discourse hadn't been describing the place where I lived so much as somewhere like it. A place where mass protests and free elections could instantly override systematic incompetence, intergenerational entitlement and well supported fanaticism. And where a sixty-year-old military regime, without any political force to contend with it, would spontaneously dissolve in a puff. Leaving behind a paradise of equality and freedom…
This too, I have come to feel, is Orientalism. It's an Orient that emerges from the "unchallenged centrality" of the West, "governed not simply by empirical reality but by a battery of desires, regressions, investments, and projections". The only difference is — it belongs not to imperialists but immigrants.
Well, it belongs to an immigrantish left that tends to presuppose an authority on the East it simply cannot have. Not even when it physically moves there, the better to live out its masturbatory fantasies of world-changing upheaval. And while it retains all the stupidities of political correctness and moderatism, it lacks all magic, all mystery.
The truth is no one enthuses about intermingling more than I. No one drools more copiously at the thought of Alexandria, Córdoba, Istanbul. "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" the Quran says. And I will always be for people moving across continents. Becoming other people while they do so.
But there is something about the current format of multiculturalism that seems to prevent becoming. It's as if people travel not in order to open up to other people, to change, but to clam up and become reductive, essentialised versions of themselves.
Thus the Immigrant's perspective. In an East seen too comfortably from the West.
And it's thanks to this avatar of the real, anti-Orientalist Oriental that the more sympathetic the West is, the more absurdly reductive and ultimately disastrous its views.

I have a problem with curiosity and I have one question that entered my mind about 20 years ago, and that was "what is the longetivity of a person who has had polio?" I knew it had to depend on the severity of the disease but never the less I still was curious and since this site has thousands of viewers, I thought why not give it a shot and see if I could arrive at a consensus.
The question is: How old are you and how how many years has it been since you contacted polio.
Now comes the difficult part. Since millions have had polio over the years it has to be more selective and so it has to be those that have never walked, never been able to use their arms, or breath unassisted. I have probably left something out in these selections and welcome any additions but I think you see my idea. I know that some people don't want to disclose their age and I understand but I am proud of my age and that I have lived this long after polio.
To start off:
I had polio in 1950, and on the 17th of this month will have survived 64 years my age is 80 on the 3rd of this month and it all has been in the wheelchair.
I certainly hope that any respondents will put me far down on the list. :-))
Views: 572
I contacted polio when I was 4yrs old....the year was 1952... I am 66 years old so I has lived with polio for 62 years....
How has it affected you? wheelchair, crutches etc
Right now I use a walker....cane & have a AKFO... I have a scooter.... not really fond of the scooter! I'm very limited because of the hyper extension & instability of my polio leg... But I"m hoping that things will become better with a total knee replacement.... this will be my second as the first surgeon used the wrong type of replacement..... this surgeon is confident the new hinged knee will make me stable & I can get a lighter brace & maybe one just for the drop foot...... how are you affected by polio?
I was paralyzed from the waist done from day 1. My upper body has many weak area and have no balance if sitting up and raising my arms as I use them for support. The good news was that the arms and shoulders did a good job of recuperating and that was a blessing. They are gradually weakening and see a lift in the near future. Now the shoulder muscles and arms are starting to hurt and fatigue is starting. Still drive and able to get in and out of car independently. But hey, II'm 80 and have lived a fun life and so I can live with it.
Looks like so far we are the oldest in this community.
Being the oldest is an accomplishment!!!
Polio really did a number on you but you have a wonderful attitude & hearing your strength will give me strength for my upcoming surgery.... I hope they are giving you some mild exercises for your shoulders & arms .... i have had to have both shoulders repaired which is not fun....I still have a lot of living I want to do & I pray I'll make it to 80.
Hey Susan, I made it to 81 and 65 years of polio. Suppose I can draw SS for the polio as that was work?
How did the knee replacement go? Hope it was successful.
Congrats Thomas another milestone for you... doing the Happy Dance!! In my eyes you can draw ss but the government that a whole different ballgame...
My surgery went well the out come not so well.... I've got the hinged knee & to be honest don't know if it was worth it...the pain of my muscles not recovering has really put me in a bind....now I have to go back into a AKFO & the surgeon is suggesting a drop lock....not sure I'm even liking the sound of that....I now have a compressed nerve in my back & need to see a neuro surgeon.... not liking that either....the only good thing that came of my surgery is the loss of 30 lbs.....it helps & planning on getting rid of another 15 but we will see .. easier said than done... especially with not really being able to excerise... but I am grateful everyday for what I can do...
Keep in touch.... and Happy Birthday!!
Friends because of Polio
I contracted polio when I was 8 months old in July of 1955 and just had my 60th birthday! 59 plus years after polio. My right leg was paralyzed and 12-13 surgeries through my 8th birthday and I was off a running (literally). Polio leg was and still is severely atrophied. At age 9 my horse fell on that leg and broke the femur just above the knee. I survived that as well, participated in anything I wanted, no interest in sports with the exception of dirt bikes which I excelled at on an amateur level. I have been very physically active all my life, cleared & fenced 5 acres, built 2 houses, cut my own firewood to this day, raised two wonderful boys and have honestly had a fantastic life. I have had 2 hip replacements on my "good" leg, the first one was not suited to my activity level and dislocated 4 times:-( I try to exercise daily, 1/2 mile on the treadmill and 15 minutes on my stationary bike. I can no longer actually run, use a cane on occasions and have a brace for drop foot I wear if I'm going to walk a lot. I am curious as to how exercising is for others. It just keeps gettin harder and I do seem to be loosing strength in my upper body. I too am looking forward to many more years.
I contracted polio in October 1951 at age 3, I am now 66, so I have lived with polio for 63 years. My left leg was the most affected by the polio, and the right has been the 'good' leg. I have problems straightening out the right leg now, looked into knee replacement several years ago and the surgeon was willing, but after reading through the rehab process and talking with my brother after his knee replacement, I decided not to go ahead with it - I saw no way that I would be able to do the rehab with the 'polio leg'.......it's like a leg that is there, but it is not 100% dependable.
Lately I have noticed that energy levels drop quickly, and take longer to come back. I use a cane inside, on not so good days, I use my scooter inside my apt. Can't stand in one spot for more than 3 minutes. Have found that mild exercise is good for keeping things movable, but not for strengthening. I do what I can, but find myself needing assistance more and more. Can't say its fun, but my theory is 'I have today', and I'll make the most out of it.
Hi, I suppose I'm one of the younger polio survivors, I contracted polio at 2mths old ,in 1970. I am now 45. I have a weakened right leg, and walk with a limp. My right foot is about 1 inch smaller then my left foot.I have had 2 surgeries that I remember, (mom says I had surgery as an infant)I wore a metal brace to my knee during childhood and in my teen years was given an afo, which at the time wasn't realistic caused more pain then help, so I quit wearing it. But at the age of 38 started wearingan improved one again, now I can't leave the house without it, hence becoming weaker. I have been unable to work since 2007 I was diagnosed with pps during that time. I was at a point where walking was difficult for me and falling became an almost daily thing. I was becoming weaker fast. And the pain through out my body is just overwhelming at times. I am currently facing back surgery and I have no idea what to expect, however my doctor is wanting to wait until he is fully familiar with my pps which I am really grateful for. I am under 4 doctors care, and have been blessed with always being really well taken care of.
You have a very intelligent doctor - so many don't believe in such a thing as PPS. I have found that Dr. Bruno's book on PPS is extremely good for both the physicians and for others wanting to find out more about it. Plus, if you email Dr. Bruno, you are likely to get a response. Plug in to the internet Dr. Richard L Bruno and post polio syndrome and his information will come up.
I wish you all the best with your surgeries.
Nancy Nye
Thank you Nancy, I agree my doctors have my best interest at heart. I have read Dr. Bruno's book and funny, I am currently reading it again. It is a great book, and I am still learning about my condition. I will look into contacting Dr Bruno, but I do have a question, is there another book that you may have read or are familiar with to recommend as well?
Thank you,

program, which is a series of staged events that deters students from drinking and driving. We were thrilled to oblige. Brent and I had a great time getting to know some new folks, and it was really enjoyable being able to direct the action instead of simply documenting it. When we put the finished video online, it received a lot of positive feedback and people were saying that it truly affected them. So, even though it's not wedding related (and has quite the opposite emotions of a wedding) I still thought I should post it here.

This had me rolling around in my chair. Redditor irishchck14 is a proud mom who recently had fellow Redditors in stitches after she posted her 6-year-old son's absolutely priceless response to a question on a math test online. Her son answered the first question correctly, but when he's asked "How do you know? Show your thinking." as a follow-up, he takes it just a little too literally and draws a doodle of himself deep in thought about the correct answer!
Here's the actual picture of the test.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the face he made? He could have made a smiley face, but that wouldn't be true to the gritty reality of having to make the hard choices he faced.
The mother says she will be hanging the test on the fridge.
This kid is my hero.

Police-community relations is, by all accounts, the most critical issue facing law enforcement in America today. This training seminar presents law enforcement leaders with solutions, based on empirical research and actual practice, for improving citizen satisfaction, citizen confidence, and citizen support for law enforcement officers. This training utilizes the findings from social scientific research to identify what factors influence citizen satisfaction with the police, then provides real-life case study examples to illustrate each of the solutions identified by the research. This training is suited for law enforcement leaders of any rank who engage in directing agency operations and assist in forming departmental policies.

The Preembryo as Potential: A Reply to John A. Robertson McCormick, Richard A. (1991-12)...In conclusion, let me agree with Robertson that reasonable persons may indeed disagree on concrete conclusions touching preembryo freezing, discard, research, and diagnosis.

Ron Lieber, author of "The Opposite of Spoiled," a new book about teaching children about money, is heading a discussion on whether kids need cell phones.
"I think smartphones with Internet access and data plans are a 'want' and not a 'need,'" says Mr. Lieber. "Kids should pay the extra costs for the fancier phone and data plan."

I got this WondeRuci Cacao Brightening Mask in one of my first Memeboxes around July. I've been using this since then and now I'm almost done with it and I'm about to discard whatever is left there because I'm quite fed up with it.
This mask contains cacao and smells like chocolate, tastes sweet too (no, no I wasn't trying to eat it, some of it just got into my mouth when I was washing it off). It promises to cleanse away dirt and impurities that accumulate in pores while moisturising and brightening the skin.
The mask has a dense, gooey consistency, I can sense some exfoliating micro particles in it, and it feels quite warm on the face, which may help open the pores and unclog them. During the application it feels very pleasant on the face which can mostly be attributed to the gorgeous chocolate scent and also to the fact that it doesn't dry to a crust and never feels tight on the skin.
What I absolutely hate about this mask is the removal process. It stubbornly clings to my face and refuses to come off. It leaves this weird, slimey residue, which I'm not sure if is meant to be left on the face or rinsed, I wipe it off my face with a cloth, otherwise it stays on my face together with some particles of cocoa which look like dirt.
This tedious, messy and time-consuming process would be more bearable if the results were worth the effort and I don't think this mask does anything particular to my face. I do notice that my skin is softer, but is it really brighter and cleaner? Are my pores properly taken care of ? Not really.
This is not a bad mask at all, but a busy person like me, who doesn't have time to wear a different mask each day and has to make choices based on effort:effifiency ratio, will pick something other that guarantees more spectacular all-in-one results.
